Can somebody help me out

[John Corbett]

I always chuckle when people refer to the JFKA hobby as an ongoing investigation. Some investigation. I've been at this for 35 years since Oliver Stone's movie came out. While my own body of knowledge has grown exponentially, I can't say the same for the information that is widely available. The conspiracy hobby has been around a lot longer than the 35 years I have been involved. There have been a few bread crumbs that become known that weren't available in 1991 and some advances in technology have shed some new light on the information available, but for the most part, not much has changed. The discussions are pretty much focused on the same things that were being kicked around 35 years ago.

Can somebody tell me what we know now that wasn't known in 1991 that significantly changes the discussion? From my perspective, it's more of the same old crap. For the most part, the CT community is just polishing old turds.

We know now, thanks to research by Malcolm Blunt and John M. Newman, that James Angleton's confidant, mentor, and mole-hunting superior, probable KGB mole Bruce Leonard Solie in the mole-hunting Office of Security -- in response to an April 1958 cable to headquarters by probable mole George Kisevalter to the effect that CIA's spy, GRU Lt. Col. Pyotr Popov, had told him in West Berlin that he'd overheard a drunken GRU Colonel brag at a New Year's Eve party that the Kremlin had the specifications of the top-secret U-2 spy plane -- probably sent former Marine U-2 radar operator Lee Harvey Oswald to Moscow in October 1959 as an ostensible "dangle" in a (unbeknownst to Angleton and Oswald) planned-to-fail hunt for "Popov's U-2 Mole" (Solie) in a wrong part of the CIA -- the Soviet Russia Division -- which mole hunt lasted nine years, protected Solie from being uncovered, tore the Soviet Russia Division apart, and drove Angleton nuts.

As to whether or not Oswald was a witting KGB agent when he killed JFK, who knows?
